1. How collaborative is the innovation system ?
2. Which innovation system actors exercise most power?
| Relation Type | Manifestation of Power Relations | ||
|---|---|---|---|
|
More / Less Power |
Cooperation A exercises more power than B, but collective goals |
Competition A exercises more power than B, but mutually exclusive goals |
Co-existence A exercises more power than B, independent co-existent goals |
~ 5000 unique innovations
Literature-Based Innovation Output method
from 15 independent trade journals (Sjöö et al., 2014)
Stating collaborations
Firm aggregation a challenge

What explains the decline in firms and output?
Figure 2: Network of bioeconomy collaboration over time. Gray circles indicate final network.
Which are more active producing innovation for non-bioeconomy purposes
Figure 3: Innovation Experience of 10 Most Connected Actors.
Swedish bioeconomy innovation is declining relative to total innovation
Bioeconomy innovation producer network highly fragmented and shrinking after 1980
Most powerful innovation producers more active outside bioeconomy
Figure 4: Network of all innovation in database. For better clarity, only nodes with more than 1 collaboration are shown. Sizes of individual nodes correspond with cumulated total innovation. Fill color shows a company’s share of innovation within the bioeconomy compared to its total innovation in SWINNO data. Collaborations resulting in a bioeconomy innovation are highlighted in color.
